the beginning...

I'm not sure what I am attempting to accomplish, or even if anyone will read this, but nevertheless I am proceeding. Mostly I am looking for an outlet for well, my life. I vent mostly to my boyfriend and feel as though he deserves a break, so if you're interested in the rantings of a 25 year old college graduate still waiting tables and waiting for her life to begin then this is the blog for you.

I was told me whole life to go to school and do well and you will get a good job and da da da. Well I did all this, and I am not where they said I would be. I went to the best high school in my state and then went to college and worked my butt off for 5 years; studied abroad, received scholarships and numerous awards. So now, almost 2 years out of college, I am trying to figure out what the hell I am supposed to be doing with my life?

Currently, I am waiting tables, which during college is a great job to have. Easy cash, great hours for those who stay out all night partying, drag themselves into their 9am classes and finally come out of their hangovers around 4pm just in time to go to work and do it all over again. I began when I was 18 and from the beginning I loved it; couldn't get enough of the money, and boy did I make a ton! Only problem was, for my entire college career, I didn't save a single penny.

So what exactly am I trying to say, what is the point of this blog you ask? I, like many young Americans, am stuck in a job that I hate while trying to search for the job I want that no longer exists in todays economy and not wanting to settle for something mediocre just to get out of the hospitality industry. So I trudge through everyday hoping to get my big break all the while working in a restaurant whilst trying not to punch my co-workers in the face and/or poison my customers food (only kidding..sort of).

I will be posting daily rants of my job and life from here on and my search for that bright future I was promised so long ago. Thank you for reading.
